Second Street and Third Avenue intersection partially blocked

A section of the intersection of Second Street and Third Avenue has been blocked off this afternoon due to street repair, Havre Public Works Director Dave Peterson said.

He said the intersection was the location where Havre would put up it's annual Christmas Tree. But because the city no longer displays a tree at that location, he added, it had been patched with asphalt that deteriorated over the years. The city is cutting out the section and filling it back in with concrete to match the rest of the road.

It will take up to a week for the concrete to dry and until then the section of the street will be blocked off to prevent people from driving over it, Peterson said. People should be able to drive around the area where construction is being done.
